Sybok: Let us explore it together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me, and gain strength from the sharing.

J'onn: Where did you get this power?

Sybok: The power was within you.

J'onn: I feel... as if a weight has been lifted from my heart. How can I repay you for this miracle?

Sybok: Join my quest.

J'onn: What is it you seek?

Sybok: What you seek. What all men have sought since time began. The ultimate knowledge.

Spock: [To Kirk while he is climbing] Concentration is vital. You must be one with the rock.

James T. Kirk: Spock, I appreciate your concern, but if you don't stop bothering me, I'm liable to be one with the (Kirk slips off the rock face) GROUND!

Montgomery Scott: [voiceover] USS Enterprise, shakedown crew's report. I think this new ship was put together by monkeys. Oh, she's got a fine engine, but half the doors won't open, and guess whose job it is to make it right.

Pavel Chekov: Admit - we're lost!

Hikaru Sulu: Alright, we're lost; but we're making good time.

Uhura : [Over communticator] Commander Sulu.

Hikaru Sulu: I don't believe this! Commander Sulu here.

Uhura: Sorry boys; shore leave's been cancelled. Proceed to the beam up point.

Pavel Chekov: Rescued at last! Wait, if you tell them that we're lost we'll never live it down.

Uhura: Is there a problem gentlemen?

Hikaru Sulu: Yes, uh, we've been caught in....we've been caught in a blizzard!

Pavel Chekov: [rolls eyes at Sulu and imitates wind blowing] And we can't see a thing!

James T. Kirk: The man may be a fellow Vulcan, but that doesn't mean...

Spock: No, you do not understand. Sybok is also a son of Sarek.

James T. Kirk: You mean he's your brother brother? (Spock looks at him quizzically) You made that up!

Spock: I did not.

James T. Kirk: You did too. Sybok couldn't possible be your brother because I happen to know for a fact that you don't have a brother.

Spock: Technically, you are correct. I do not have a brother.

James T. Kirk: There, you see...

Spock: I have a half-brother.

James T. Kirk: [exasperated]I gotta sit down.

James T. Kirk: Damn it, Spock! God damn it!

Spock: Captain, what I have done--

James T. Kirk: What you have done is betray every man on the ship.

Spock: Worse, I have betrayed you. I do not expect you to forgive me.

James T. Kirk: Forgive you? I ought to knock you on your goddamned ass.

Spock: If you think it would help?

Leonard McCoy: You want me to hold him, Jim?

James T. Kirk: You stay out of this.

Leonard McCoy: I'll say one thing, Spock. You never cease to amaze me.

Spock: Nor I myself.

Spock: This is a new brig, Captain. Completely escape-proof. To guarantee that, they used the most intelligent, most resourceful person they could find. He was unable to escape.

James T. Kirk: This person didn't happen to have pointed ears and a propensity for getting his shipmates into trouble, did he?

Spock: He did have pointed ears.

James T. Kirk: [responds to tapping within the wall] What's that noise?

Spock: [tapping continues] I believe it is a primitive form of communication known as Morse Code.

James T. Kirk: You're right. I'm out of practice. That's an "S."

Spock: A "T."

James T. Kirk: "A." "N." Uh, "D." End of word.

Leonard McCoy: "Stand."

James T. Kirk: New word. "B." "A." Um...

Spock: "C." "K."

Leonard McCoy: "Back." "Stand back."

James T. Kirk, Spock, Leonard McCoy: Stand back?

[The wall explodes]

Montgomery Scott: [peering through the blasted hole] What are you standing around for? Do you not know a jailbreak when you see one?

James T. Kirk: Mr. Scott, you're amazing.

Montgomery Scott: There's nothing amazing about it. [walks away, speaking to himself] I know this ship like the back of my hand. [Klunk!-Smacks into a utility pipe and knocks himself out.]

Sybok: The people of your planet once believed their world was flat. Columbus proved it was round. They said the sound barrier could never be broken. [shrugs] It was broken. They said warp speed could not be achieved.

James T. Kirk: What is this power you have to control the minds of my crew?

Sybok: I don't control minds. I free them.

Leonard McCoy: How?

Sybok: By making you face, and draw strength from it. Once that's done fear cannot stop you.

James T. Kirk: Damn it Bones, you're a doctor. You know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with the wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. [to Sybok] I don't want my pain taken away! I need my pain!

James T. Kirk: [to "God"] Excuse me... I just wanted to ask a question. What does God need with a starship?
